Dear KMAG: 20230904 Joe Biden Didn’t Win ❀ Open Topic and the Children’s Sexual Rights Amendment in Ohio

Joe Biden didn’t win. This is our Real President:

And yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will always remember Wheatie,

Pray for Trump,

Word of The Week:

Brix

unit of measurement

Degrees Brix (symbol °Bx) is a measure of the dissolved solids in a liquid, and is commonly used to measure dissolved sugar content of an aqueous solution. One degree Brix is 1 gram of sucrose in 100 grams of solution and represents the strength of the solution as percentage by mass. If the solution contains dissolved solids other than pure sucrose, then the °Bx only approximates the dissolved solid content. For example, when one adds equal amounts of salt and sugar to equal amounts of water, the degrees of refraction (BRIX) of the salt solution rises faster than the sugar solution. The °Bx is traditionally used in the wine, sugar, carbonated beverage, fruit juice, fresh produce, maple syrup and honey industries. The °Bx is also used for measuring the concentration of a cutting fluid mixed in water for metalworking processes.

YouTube says “violins” while I’m looking for “Wheatie epic music”, so let’s go with that….

Hey – what about the cellos?

Yeah! You remember last week…..

But we simply have to finish with the cellos!

Yeah, I’m spending far too much time in the near vicinity of Marxists and their downstream effects, and it shows. But still, kinda fun.


Continuing to pray for Carl. Thank you to DePat for helping out with a perfect Sunday message about Sunday itself!

And now for some useful scoop from the front lines.

TL;DR – Ohio has a sneaky “children’s sexual rights amendment” on the ballot.

In the course of our political work, I’ve come into contact with an interesting assortment of people representing a wide variety of political interests. There is often some “adjacency” and “intersectionality” as the other side loves to say, and in particular we run into specific candidates, issues or causes which matter to our group.

You may or may not have been following the August “Issue 1” vote in Ohio, which was designed to make it harder to amend the Ohio constitution – meaning a 60% vote for passage of amendments instead of just 50%. The proposal had other features that weakened it, but the main factor leading to its defeat was the fact that the Ohio Dems had an abortion amendment coming in November, and that amendment was unlikely to get 60%+ support. The Demmunists got out the vote to defeat fundamental improvement of the Ohio constitution, using abortion. It worked like crazy.

The new abortion amendment is likely to pass in November, ironically as “Issue 1”, but worried Dem operatives have confided that the proposal has two weaknesses which give them a bad feeling. Some have even called these two problems “poison pills” in the amendment.

One is that the amendment leaves open the option for abortion due to “mental health of the mother” until birth, despite otherwise making abortion restrictable once the baby is viable (which is not well-defined). Pro-life forces can usually get voters out to the polls on this.

The other weakness is that the amendment implicitly removes parental rights regarding one’s own children, because the “reproductive rights” are granted to “individuals”, not adults. The term “individuals” is designed to include teens, and even logically includes younger children. So the right-to-life people are focused on the problem of abortion without the consent of the parents. This is also something that can bring pro-life voters to the polls.

But THESE are not the worst aspects of the bill.

The part of the amendment which grants this right to all individuals, which necessarily includes children of unspecified age, covers not just abortion, but anything of a reproductive nature. The amendment uses specific language to say that it is not limited to the examples listed, which include abortion and fertility, but which curiously do not include sex change or “gender affirming care” – and yet these things and more would clearly be covered as reproductive.

In other words, this amendment is a sneaky way to take away all parental rights regarding sex change of children – or indeed, anything else touching on reproduction.

I repeat – this amendment allows children to submit themselves to “gender change”, and takes away all parental rights to oppose it.

The amendment MAY even take away parental rights regarding sex education, or anything where the “individual” has “reproductive rights”.

Do you see what they’re doing here?

The amendment uses tricky lawfare wording to distract and deceive voters, implying that it is mainly about abortion, when it is dangerously relevant to transgender issues.

An overt sexual rights amendment for children could never pass, but an abortion amendment might.

It’s very interesting to note that Ballotpedia very deceptively HIDES the sneaky “not limited to” wording of the amendment in their description of it, except when they are forced to quote the amendment verbatim.

Et tu, Ballotpedia?

The Dems are getting ahead of the storm on the REAL sneakiness by making sure the controversy is all about Republicans changing the term “fetus” to “unborn child” on the text of the ballot issue, which generally clarifies the abortion part without changing the meaning in any significant way, in my opinion. Thankfully, the Republicans did NOT try to conceal the “not limited to” part, so we can still make that case without contradiction.

Very typical Dem behavior – distract to a smaller, winnable controversy. And, of course, the leftist media is helping. And very typical RINO idiot behavior, following the left’s laser pointer focus on minor stupidity instead of WINNING on the fact that this is exactly what the Democrats call it: Ohio Issue 1, Right to Make Reproductive Decisions Including Abortion Initiative. The trick is, this amendment should really be called Ohio Issue 1, Children’s Right to Make Reproductive Decisions Including But Not Limited To Abortion, Sex Education, Gender Reassignment, and Sex with Adults Initiative.

Are you seeing how bad this is, and how stupid the Republicans are?

They should be printing up yard signs in big bold letters:

SAY NO TO CHILDREN’S SEXUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT

This bill for an amendment, if it passes, will destroy public education in Ohio. [Admittedly, some conservatives are actually rubbing their hands in glee at this possibility!] Teacher’s unions will be utterly free to “trans your kids” and even more, under the color of an “individual’s reproductive rights”. Whether the bill destroys education completely depends on whether private schooling can lock out transgender ideologues from their teaching staff. Nobody can trust left-wing teachers once this passes.

So watch out for this CHILDREN’S SEXUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT – which is definitely a DEMS CAN TRANS YOUR KIDS AMENDMENT – and see if the national conservative media catches on to its insidious nature RE spreading the trans agenda to red states using abortion. If they don’t, Ohio will join Michigan and California as a “fleeing resident” state starting next year.

Note how the “pro-choice” side and the old feminists (including TERFs) were THROWN UNDER THE BUS by the Pritzker transgender males to get their much bigger agenda into law. “You want to protect abortion, ladies? Here, try this amendment!” The Pritzkeroids don’t care if people catch on and abortion is defeated, because their number one fundraising issue is still preserved if they lose. A simple 12-week bill (Robert Kennedy Jr. gets this) would PASS and WIN in Ohio, satisfying everybody on their bottom lines, but NO, we can’t have THAT!

Does the amendment do anything to protect pedophiles and sexual consent by minors? With the lunatic leftists on the Ohio Supreme Court, I am certain that it does. These goofballs actually decided that bail increases based on danger of the accused individual to the public were illegal, until an amendment to allow higher bails for dangerous criminals was passed over Demmunist objections.

Remember – THIS BILL ENSHRINES REPRODUCTIVE/SEXUAL RIGHTS FOR MINORS.

The left always goes too far. The trick is catching them early.

And here I thought this was an exciting election already!

Interesting times – no?

We’re not even out of summer and it’s basically 10 weeks until the election. Not sure I can keep up this pace all the way to the end – and this is an OFF-YEAR election! How do these people do it? I cannot keep up with them.

I’m learning so much I never knew. But they created millions of “new baby Trumps” when they went after Trump, and I’m one of them. They created people who decided that the only way to fight these commies is to get out in real life and ENGAGE.

And we WILL. The political response that you FEEL as they go after Trump is coming back at them from 1000 directions, and WE are one of them.

Word of The Week:

listless

adjective

  • Lacking energy or disinclined to exert effort; lethargic.
  • Characterized by a lack of energy or interest.
  • Having no desire or inclination; indifferent; heedless; spiritless.

Surprising etymology

From Middle English lystles, equivalent to list (“desire”) +‎ -less. Compare German lustlos and Dutch lusteloos (“lethargic, listless”). Doublet of lustless.

Used in a sentence

“….because if you’re not rooted in principle – ah – if all we are is listless vessels that’s just supposed to follow – you know – whatever happens to come down the pike on Truth Social every morning – that’s not going to be a durable movement.”

No breathers allowed in local politics.

Fortunately, there’s still time for a brief stop in here.

What’s shocking is how much national politics filters down into state and local politics. People are worried about big national ideological issues causing friction at our level. Sometimes the friction is there – sometimes it’s not. Sometimes it’s an inch away from all hell breaking loose. But this is where the reality happens, and trying to solve that reality for the best effect is HARD.

Word of The Week:

deranged

adjective

  • Disordered; especially, disordered in mind; crazy; insane.
  • Disturbed or upset, especially mentally.
  • Insane.

Used in a sentence

Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., slammed former President Donald Trump’s legal defense in his criminal case over the 2020 election as “deranged.”

Used in a Truth Social post

“Do you think that A.G. Garland, and Deranged Jack Smith, understand that we are in the middle of a major political campaign for President of the United States? Have they looked at recent poll numbers?” Trump wrote.

Used in a theory

I’ve been wondering why Trump keeps referring to “deranged” Jack Smith, when the history of John (his real name) Smith shows no indication of ever being deranged in any way, or even having ever been a mental patient, unstable, etc.

And yet – well – when this allegedly sane person Jack Smith read off the weird crap charges against Trump, with utter seriousness, he sounded to me like a nutcase.

HOLD THAT THOUGHT.

I believe that Smith is an “MK ULTRA” subject, and that Trump is hinting at this. It is my contention that MK ULTRA leads to a variety of forms of brain damage, as side effects of the process of mental manipulations.

Among the people who I suspect have been conditioned by MK ULTRA (see many earlier posts), for a variety of purposes:

  • Whitey Bulger
  • Robert Mueller
  • Loretta Lynch
  • Merrick Garland
  • Christine Blasey “Two-Door” Ford

Whitey Bulger was likely used to test MK ULTRA’s capacity to carry out murder.

Robert Mueller’s sad dementia and wrecked brain seem very post-MK to me. Recall Mueller’s close relationship with Bulger during Bulger’s work as an “informant” who was murdering other criminals (likely under MK ULTRA).

Merrick Garland likewise shows damage from tampering, IMO.

Loretta Lynch had nearly complete amnesia about critical events when she had to testify. IMO she would pass a lie detector test about any items in her “selective memory” – because of MK ULTRA.

Christine Blasey Ford is a powerful example of the derangement resulting from MK ULTRA. She is a human puppet who can be made to say anything. Clearly this is “deranged”.

I believe that MK ULTRA was used to take over DOJ. “They” literally brainwashed critical people in DOJ and FBI.

Bottom Line:

Jack Smith is “deranged” = brainwashed = MK ULTRA

I love the way his “round up” verb doesn’t have an object. That’s very important. The object could be anybody. Very important to remember.

Word of The Week:

Dunning–Kruger effect

noun

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a type of task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge. Some researchers also include the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills. In popular culture, the Dunning–Kruger effect is often misunderstood as a claim about general overconfidence of people with low intelligence instead of specific overconfidence of people unskilled at a particular task.


Link

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect

Graphical display

Explanation of graph

People are actually fairly good at estimating relative abilities, but they are not as good at estimating actual abilities – and the fit is increasingly bad at lower abilities, where people overestimate their own competence.

The effect is commonly used as a justification of authoritarianism by leftists and elitists, and as an argument in favor of the anti-popular positions of scientism.

In words

“The more you know, the more you know that you don’t know.”

“The less you know, the less you know that you don’t know.”

Relevance

There is a fake news site that exists for the purpose of fooling conservatives, and thereby discrediting them in the eyes of everybody else. As a form of insult to its victims, this website calls itself the “Dunning-Kruger Times”.


LINK: https://dunning-kruger-times.com/garth-brooks-booed-off-stage-at-123rd-annual-texas-country-jamboree/

While the Dunning-Kruger Times (DKT) website claims that its stories are satire, the stories are always remarkably unfunny, and IMO are clearly not intended to be funny.

They are intended to be believable.

True satire sites of a similar nature typically run stories which slowly increase the level of absurdity until the reader recognizes hyperbole and begins to get the joke. These sites can be incredibly (no pun intended) funny, and have often had me breathless with laughter.

DKT never crafts funny satire. The goal appears to be to get reasonable people to see the story and recognize that the story is reasonable, likely to have occurred, and affirming of conservative values. The stories are easily posted to social media. The trouble is, the stories are never true.

As I have said, the stories are discrediting of whoever posts them, and many famous conservatives (Gov. Greg Abbott and Juanita Broaderick, most recently) have been fooled.

The stories are ALMOST libelous, but under the cover of satire, they remain protected and legal speech. Moreover, because the false allegations are very plausible, the accusations anticipate likely real positions by the people who are libeled, and are thus unlikely to be argued against.

It is my belief that these sites and stories are the work of the 3-letter agencies and/or the DNC, both as a psychological operation against Americans, and in particular as a way of discrediting those who would be expected to post or “like” the stories on social media.

For example, Juanita Broaddrick posted this valid tweet, showing significant public sentiment in favor of country music artist Jason Aldean.

Shortly thereafter, she was apparently misled into posting this tweet.

She also posted this tweet.

Notice how the regime media then amplifies the outcome, by pushing the semi-libelous article onto Broaddrick and not onto the DKT.

LINK: https://www.tmz.com/2023/07/22/blake-shelton-jason-aldean-controversy-fake-article-satire-site/

In my opinion, Broaddrick was the victim of a disinformation operation.

The good news is, Juanita Broaddrick just keeps fighting. She doesn’t lose heart because the other side got in a couple of sucker punches.

Personally, I think that the DKT needs to be investigated all the way back to their (IMO) CIA, big tech, or DNC roots.

DKT is a discreditation site – a psy-op – and NOT a regular satire site.

This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).

And yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will always remember Wheatie,

Pray for Trump,

Yet have fun,

and HOLD ON when things get crazy!


We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:

Wheatie’s Rules:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:

“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”

If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

Joe Biden didn’t win.

And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.

As the election season approaches, I will be getting more and more involved in local politics. I may do some more placeholders, particularly for the final weeks before the election. I’ll just have to see how much time I have. My top priority on this site will be interacting with people, and reading the content that people bring here, rather than bringing my own content.

I just want to make sure people know that I’m not losing interest in this site, by my not being here or by my not doing more analytical posts. Between necessary time for health, family, and local politics, something has to give, and it will typically be posting my own content on this site.

But like Wheatie always said. We WILL get through it!


ENJOY THE SHOW

Have a great week!

I will soon be publishing a statement on the end of Affirmative Action in university admissions. I thought that I might include that statement with this open thread, but I wish to do a better job and not rush it into print. Please bear with me.

Thank you, and God bless you all! -W
